Description

This package enhances ADTF and the ADTF File Library to write/export video streams using GStreamer.

With GStreamer, you can access any plugins/pipelines to process, encode, decode and transform image, audio and video based data, reusable within ADTF / DAT Tool processing.

Please have a look at Release Notes.

Overview

The following exporters are delivered:

Processor ID	Plugin	Stream Meta Type	Description
gstreamer_video	gstreamer_video_exporter	adtf/image/adtf/gstreamer	Exports video frames into a video file with gstreamer.
mdf_video_frames	gstreamer_video_exporter	adtf/image/adtf/gstreamer	Exports video frames into a video file with gstreamer and creates an accompaning MDF file that references the frames in the video file.

Prerequisites

Windows

If installed via conan make sure you generate the virtualrunenv batch files and execute them before launching the ADTF Dat Tool:

conan install gstreamer_video_exporter/*@dw/* -g virtualrunenv
activate_run.bat
/path/to/ifhd/bin/adtf_dattool --plugin /path/to/video_exporter/bin/gstreamer_video_exporter.adtffileplugin ...

If not installed via conan, install GStreamer from https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ and make sure it is set within your PATH variable.

Linux

Make sure you have the GStreamer packages installed and available within PATH. Mind that these are installed by default on most distributions.
